    It won't be racing anymore, Rocco. This is what was done to mine so I could carry a few things up front to and from the track...

    You and I have Challenge cars of historical merit. We have to be kind to them, Rocco. They deserve it! :)

    I hope to see you and that 348CH at the Glen this Labor Day Weekend.

    348 challenge battery was a super small unit from ferrari which lasted one day back in 1993 when the car was built (yes one day and it had to be replaced). The omp race battery kit was removed at one time for a standard battery, which was moved to the front. In the challenge kit the battery was available for front or rear mount. We will be mounting the battery in the rear.
    The next step was locating the kit and with the help of the factory challenge manual for the part number, we were able to track it down.

    It is so spectacular to see you bring this car back to life. I love the 348 Challenge cars. I have the first customer car in America, Jim Kenton's old car that won the last 348 Challenge Series. Just love it! Your car will be increidible, like new. Bring it to Road America for the national meet Ferrari Club of America 2013 International Meet. I was so happy to see my car at FOW in 07 I kissed the Prancing Horse!

    You're welcome, Rocco.

    What battery will you be using?

    I'll call you tomorrow.

    I have to check my suppliers for the battery, I found one at summit racing in Akron but they will be last resort.

    the alt was checked and was given a good cleaning. The electrical socket on the rear was removed and new terminals installed. The rubber cover on the main power wire on the rear of the alt was also replaced
